BennyRick’s “Learner” 160L

I like your tank but don't buy any more alternanthera, the red plant, chances are they won't live long without Co2 the dwarf hairgrass looks nice but it is a very slow grower a fast growing plant that is easy to grow like hygrophila will grow well without Co2.

The alternanthera has actually grown really well despite looking “holey” that’s how I’ve ended up with so much.

There’s some limbophila sessiphlora that is growing super fast, the water sprite some looks super healthy and some is struggling, and the vallisneria is also spreading super well despite having some mild white algae on it.

But yeah, all the grass is growing super slow (the longer stuff actually looks a bit unhealthy), and the moss also isn’t spreading as fast as I thought it would

The sessiphlora you can’t see so well as I just cut it, but it’s spreading really well as it keeps growing then I cut and replant it.

Yeah Limnophila is a great plant for non co2 fast growth.

My water is also quite hard so plants don't thrive like they would in softer water
I keep thinking about a slight ro mix to reduce my hardness
